SvardBjorn – Game Jam Build Download

SvardBjorn, a pixel art, two button fighting game made for the Ludum Dare 34, has you playing a mighty viking, battling hordes of enemies in a fight to the death.

You are Svard Bjorn, a single mighty viking with many weapons who is facing a horde of enemies looking to take you down. Your backpack is full of swords, axes, shields, and spears, all waiting to vanquish your enemies. You must tap the arrow key pointing towards the enemy as it approaches to destroy them with your sword. If an enemy comes from the sky, you will need to tap both keys to throw an axe into the air and bring it down. Some enemies are able to shoot arrows at you, so you must use your shield, by holding down an arrow key, to block the oncoming threat.

Once you get good at vanquishing your enemies, you can earn a couple of extra weapons from time to time. If you hit three enemies without taking damage, shown by blue dots at the bottom of the screen, your next attack will throw a spear. If you reach a combo that is a multiple of 10, you will gain an ultimate fire attack, clearing out all of the enemies. You may be outnumbered, but you have more weapons then they have!
